Enhancing Property of Concrete Using Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) Latex with Waste Ceramic Tile Powder

Abstract

Abstract: The cement Concrete is a mixture of cement, water, sand, pebbles, or crushed rocks (the aggregate or fillers), which when used to build structures and then allowed to cure, hardens into stone. Water, aggregate, and cement are the three main ingredients. Plastic and polymer are the least priced materials as compared to steel and are widely accessible. One of the three main manufacturers of carbon dioxide, a significant greenhouse gas, is the cement industry. Its contribution to the global human CO2 emissions as of 2011 is 7%, primarily as a result of the sintering of clay and limestone at 15000 C. Because Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) latex emulsions have advantages in terms of flexure strength, compressive strength, adhesion, and impermeability, they are increasingly used in the construction and repair of concrete. When used in a certain ratio between old and new concrete layers, SBR emulsion can increase the compressive and flexural strength of concrete members. There is demand on the ceramic industries to find a solution for the disposal of the growing amount of ceramic waste. Therefore, using ceramic waste powder in many industrial sectors, particularly the building industry, would aid in environmental protection. Consequently, the use of eco-friendly concrete has increased. Concrete can be made more environmentally friendly by using waste ceramic tile powder as a partial replacement for cement. Thus, the goal of this study is to develop an affordable and environmentally friendly concrete replacement using waste ceramic tile powder and SBR latex
